, Principal Secretary for Medical Services, Dr. Ouma Oluga, hosted a delegation from OhanaOne led by Co-Founder Dr. David Kulber. The discussions focused on four priorities: expanding healthcare access for low-income and indigent populations; improving sustainability and efficiency of the health system; building a stronger health workforce; and scaling up Social Health Insurance (SHI).
Dr. Oluga noted that while Kenyaโs health workforce is globally admired, there remains a need for more skilled professionals. He emphasized that this creates opportunities for structured, innovative, and sustainable partnerships to strengthen capacity and deliver lasting impact.

The meeting also explored potential collaboration with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, USA, to advance capacity building and specialist training.
